During his period in charge, the Security Council considered the Iraq, Kosovo, and East Timor crises along with many African issues.
Immediately prior to his New York post, Peter Burleigh served as the

The American Embassy
The American Embassy in
New Delhi stands as an example of Indian-American collaboration in design and
craftsmanship, symbolic of the long friendship between India and the United
States.
In designing the Embassy
complex, Architect Edward D. Stone, also the designer of the Kennedy Center for
the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., sought to capture the best in South
Asian architecture and blend it with modern Western concepts. Architect Frank
Lloyd Wright called it one of the finest buildings in the last hundred years.
Planning of the Embassy
complex began in the early 1950’s with allocation of a 28-acre site in the
Chanakyapuri (Diplomatic Enclave) area of New Delhi. The Embassy complex
includes the Chancery, the Roosevelt House (official residence of the U.S.
Ambassador), office space and living accommodations.
In September 1, 1956,
the Chief Justice of the United States, Earl Warren, laid the corner stone and
he expressed the hope that the structure would become “a temple of peace”.
The building was
formally opened in January 5, 1959 in the presence of Prime Minister Jawaharlal
Nehru and other distinguished guests. At the opening ceremony Ambassador
Ellsworth Bunker said: "To me this building is symbolic of what can be
achieved through the cooperation of our two countries. From beginning to end it
has been a joint venture."
Press Release
U.S. Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan
Ambassador Marc Grossman (Transcript of Media Availability)
New Delhi | January 20, 2012
First of all, thank you
all very much for coming out this morning. May I also thank the Government of
India for all of the hospitality that we have been shown during the day today.
I am on a trip that has taken
me so far first to Turkey, then to Saudi Arabia, to the United Arab Emirates,
and here today to India. I had the opportunity today to call on the Foreign
Secretary and I appreciated that very much. I also look very much forward to
seeing my counterpart S.K. Lambah here in a few minutes, and then I have the
honor to be received this afternoon by the National Security Advisor.
We have made this trip
in support of Afghan-led and Afghan-owned reconciliation and so after New Delhi
this evening we are going to Kabul. I will have the opportunity to visit
with the leadership of the Government of Afghanistan and particularly President
Karzai tomorrow night. After our meeting with President Karzai, we will
decide what to do next because we take his guidance and advice in an
Afghan-owned and Afghan-led process.
As I say we were very
much honored to be able to spend some time with the Foreign Secretary this
morning. We reviewed the situation in Afghanistan and I appreciated his desire
to continue this conversation between the United States and India on this
important subject. And so, with that I will be glad to take a few
questions.
Q: Ambassador Grossman,
was Pakistan discussed with the Foreign Secretary, and also, will it be
discussed with the National Security Advisor? How worried is the United
States of America with the developments in Pakistan?
A: First of all, let me
just say obviously that the Indian government can speak for itself about the
question of Pakistan, but what I would say is that of course we follow issues
of Pakistan carefully, the relationship between Pakistan and the United States
is very important. Pakistan, the government of Pakistan, the Parliament
of Pakistan have asked for some time to reassess and reevaluate the
relationship with the United States. I respect that. They have
asked for time, to give them space, to have that reevaluation and I respect
that. What I say is that when Pakistan is ready to reengage in a dialogue with
the United States, we’re glad to do so at any time and at any place.
Q: As a supplementary to
this Ambassador, stability is very low in Pakistan at the moment, tension
between the army and the civilian government. Do you feel there is a
cause for some tension in the subcontinent?
A: We have, I think been
quite clear from the podium in Washington about our views on this. We support
the civilian government in Pakistan and democracy in Pakistan. But you
know, this is a question for the Pakistanis, this is an internal question for
them. They have their own ways of going forward and, so I wouldn’t
comment any further on their internal developments. I will take one more.
Q: Were you
disappointed that you were not allowed to go to Pakistan?
A: As I said to
your colleague, the Pakistani government and the Pakistani Parliament has taken
time to reevaluate its relationship with the United States. And I want to
repeat, I respect that. They have asked for space to do that, I respect that.
And so when they are ready to have a conversation, I’m ready at any time, at any
place.
Q: One last
question, Ambassador Grossman. The ramifications of these developments on
Afghanistan – how worried are you and what are you looking at in terms of
repercussions in Afghanistan?
A: Well,
obviously, the issues of the relationship between Pakistan and Afghanistan are
hugely important. We’d like to continue to be in close conversation with the
Pakistanis on that issue as well. Obviously what happens between Afghanistan
and Pakistan is extremely important. We encourage dialogue between Afghanistan
and Pakistan. We’d like again to get into the meeting of the Core Group --
Afghanistan, Pakistan and the United States -- because I think a conversation
about all these things is really necessary.
Thank you all very
much. Thanks so much.
